We stand firm in the belief that this administration and Legislature have to come together and work through their differences of opinion in the public interest.

Nonoil economic development drains, rather than fills, Alaska's public treasury. That's why we need a broad-based tax.

No time for magical thinking: Legislature must come up with a sustainable budget plan in 2017.
